The plot thickens. Apparently someone from AC does follow the forum. The red dots are no more! I believe their departure was captured by a retired Air Force colonel in Arkansas recently (see today's WorldNetDaily.com for pictures)

For the rest of you who may be lost, for years now, the AC website has included a picture of the earth on the "users" testimonial page, also accessible from the main page, that had both yellow and red dots indicating where in the world people were using the program. There used to be a "key" explaining the difference. I seem to remember yellow meant "using" and red meant "purchased", but I'm not exactly sure about that. That's why I was asking about the red dots. Seriously, they were still there when I posted the question originally. "Someone" decided to sneak the red dots off the scene, without bothering to answer my original question. The original question was good-natured fun. Maybe the red dot thief is having his as well. ; )
